IMPROVED CLOTHES-WRINGER The Schedule referred to in these LettersPatent an. making part of the lame.

Be it known that I, J OHN YOUNG, of Amsterdam, in the county ofMontgomery, and State of New York, have inventedanew andusefullrnprovementin Clothes- Wringers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand ope-ration of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, in which- Fignre 1 is a verticalside view of my invention, and

lhe object of this invention is to simplify the construction of clamps,or jaws for clothes-wringers, and also to attach the same more readilyand securely to the wash-tub, Sto.

The nature of this invention will be more fully understood by thefollowing description.

A, figs. 1 and 2, represents the standard, or upright of aclothes-wringen b and c are cross-bars, which hold the two standards Atogether.

I form a strip of metal, D, nearly as shown in the drawing, iigs. 1 and2, and secure one end, by means 0f screws, to the standard A. The otherportion of said metal spring D, is suitably secured to the jaw E.

A thumb-screw, f, in general use for the purpose. is

I am aware that the clamping-har has been fastenedk to the wringer-post,to allow a lateral play, as in patent of George B. Griin, J une 4, 1861,and this I do not claim; but,

What I do claim, isy Connecting the clamping-bar E to the wringen-post,by a metallic springfastening,'in such a way that the 'spn'ng throws theclamping-bar off from the post, when released from pressure.
